Jack kicked the door open with gun in his hand. The team followed him who dragged Ned with them. The building looked old and abandoned for years. As they walked inside, Ned was confused why he didn't see Harold anywhere. He then led them up the stairs and through a long corridor until they reached the room where Mac was held "Is this it?" asked Jack
"Yeah but be careful. Harold might be inside with kid. He's armed" warned Ned and everybody pulled out their guns. Matty gave a nod and Jack again kicked the door "Freeze!" he yelled out
Jack entered in with the hope to find Mac but to his utter disappointment, the room was empty "Where is Mac? Ned where is he?" Ned stood shocked looking at the room "Jack..I don't.. he was here!" Jack held Ned by his collar anger boiling in voice "Are you playing games with me? Where is Mac?"
"I swear Jack! The kid was here few hours ago...I even brought a smoothie for him...look!" Ned pointed at the empty plastic cup. He then frowned as a thought crossed his mind "Harold! Yes...that man..Harold...he must've shifted Mac to some other place"
"Who the hell is Harold? What does he want with Mac" Matty came forward and asked the question
Ned decided now it was time to say the reason behind Mac's kidnapping "I was approached by this man...I don't know his name..but he..he has my son! My boy Joe" tears leaked from his eyes "I did this for my son. He said if I didn't do as instructed then Joe...he will..kill him Jack"
Jack and the team was shocked "You've a son?" asked Jack and Ned nodded "He's my life Jack. After my wife's death...he's all I got"
"I don't get it" said Bozer "What does this Harold guy want with Mac?" Ned shook his head "Not Harold.. he isn't the one who is behind this"
"Then who?"
"I don't know his name. But I've seen him once"
Jack ran a hand on his face "Ned I was your friend man! You should've come to me first"
"I'm sorry Jack. Now we lost both of them..we have no idea where to find them...he'll kill my boy" Ned was in tears again
"Wait a minute" Cage interrupted "It's not over yet"
"What do you have in mind Cage?" asked Riley
"Mr McKenzie has seen this guy once right. We can draw a sketch and find this mystery person" Cage suggested and Matty smiled "Alright guys back at the Phoenix now! Bozer call best sketch artist we have. Let's get to work"
They all started moving when Ned placed his hand on Jack's shoulder "Thank you"
"Say that when we get our sons back safe" Jack walked past him and Bozer led McKenzie out of the room. Jack gave a last glare at the room. Only if he had figured out sooner then Mac would be with him right now.
OTHER SIDE
"D..Dad?" Mac stumbled upon the word eyes still not believing what they saw. The man standing infront of him was his father James MacGyver
"Son" James spoke again with no sign of any emotion. A long heavy silence hung between them. Mac didn't know how to react. Right now he was scared to even blink fearing his father might vanish again. Tons of thoughts swirled in his mind but all he could get out of his burning throat was one question "Why?" Out of all people the boy never thought his father would be the one who would hurt him. James stared at him so Mac asked again "Just tell me why?"
"I wanted to meet you kid"
Mac gaped at the man "Meet me? Does this from any angle look a casual meeting to you? You had me kidnapped! Why?"
"I missed you Angus"
Mac scoffed "Have you ever heard of a thing called phones? I would've come if you had called me" James started pacing "And risk getting caught? You know I'm better than that"
"Why did you kidnap Joe? You could have done your own dirty work with the help of this bully" Mac glared at Harold who growled in response
"Isn't it obvious Angus? I didnt want to get caught. By the time your team figures out it was me I'll be long gone from this city. Mackenzie was just a way to stall your people from finding you" James stopped pacing and stood infront of Mac "Anyways...are you alright?"
Mac glared at his father "Alright?! I can't believe you have the guts to ask if I'm alright. Let me refresh your memory Mr MacGyver...you left me! You left me all alone with grandpa..do you've any idea how hard it was for us...for me? I use to cry until I fell asleep...every year I prayed on father's day to God so he would return you to me...I've been searching for you everywhere and you.. .when finally you came back, I get to know you kidnapped me? So yeah Dad...I'm absolutely alright" he panted never knowing when tears fell from his eyes
James sighed and sat down next to Mac "I can't make it up to you for your lost years but I need your help. I'm in danger Angus"
Mac frowned "Danger? What happened?"
"I...I owe atleast half a million to some very dangerous people and they will kill me if I don't pay" explained James
"Half a million? What were you doing with that kind of money" asked Mac. James narrowed his eyes "That's none of your business. It doesn't concern you"
"What?"
"Look I really need money and you're the only one who can help me"
Mac shifted slightly "What makes you think I've half a million dollars in my account. I work in a private agency not with the president"
"You remember Uncle Corner...your mother's brother?"
Mac nodded
"He died two days back"
Mac was shocked at the news. He wasn't close to his uncle but he liked the guy "I don't understand...where do I fit in?"
"William Corner died as a single rich businesss man. He never got married but made lot of money in his life. In his last will...Corner declared that you...Angus MacGyver will inheritate his property"
Mac's eyes widened "What?!"
"It's true...I need that money son...or else they'll kill me" James finally revealed his true intentions leaving his son in shock. Mac stared at his father. The man showed up after all these years and he was not the reason behind it. James needed money. He planned this whole kidnapping for money. Everything was for money
Mac's eyes began to burn and he closed them to stop the damn tears from falling. This hurt like a hammer to his chest. The pain was so much that no amount of physical pain would match. Suddenly he felt lonely in the whole world. A lone tear escaped from his eyes and Mac wiped it from his face. He looked at his fa...James with nothing but hate in his heart and eyes "No"
"Excuse me?"
"I said No! You'll not get a single penny"
James expression changed within seconds and he spoke with a commanding tone "Don't be foolish Angus. I'm your father. You'll do exactly as I say. I've got the papers ready. You just have to sign them"
Mac shook his head and raised his voice "I'll die before I sign those papers. From now on you're not my father.. let me go or else this will not end good for you..both" he looked at Harold who took a step forward and grabbed him by his hair. Mac gasped catching the man's wrist to free himself
"This will do nothing good son. I might not hurt you but Harold knows how to inflict pain" James warned his son
"Do your best...James" Mac cried out when Harold gave a hard pull. James shared a look with the bully and walked out of the room "Remember one thing...we want him alive"
Mac's heart broke into million pieces on seeing his father's retreating back. Next thing he knew Harold hauled him up and threw him across the room "I'm going to have so much fun with you"
Does anyone know elder MacGyver's real name? I just named him what came into my mind. Do tell me how was this chapter and leave a review :-)))
